I have my computer in a very small space and I wanted to use it as its maximum. I decided I wanted a magnet wall, so I measured the wall and went to a metal workshop. There the made it into my measures and here it is now.

So my bamboo sticks has finally been part of my insect hotel. It took a while. I have had them for a while, they are made to make a fence in the garden. I wanted to make them shorter in order to fit into an insect hotel. I had to use a fin saw in order not to break the bamboo, and the rest was so easy. The giant cone I picket from a neighbour and the wood-wool I got from another neighbour. Now I have to find some more material and perhaps some colour.

This is how it started. I got the squares from the neighbour and I saw the sun protection for a gas barbecue in the shop, but I thought it was far to expensive. In February I found the sun protection for 50 % of the price and bought it, then it was just to wait for the spring and warmth…that almost never came. The sun-protection got walls and the squares I washed.

The influenza took 14 days of my life but I had a lot of time to think and I was thinking about shoes. When I was in Sydney I bought a packet of folding shoes boxes in a one-dollar-shop I think it was. I have been using them but not in an organised way. I have also bought some boxes, not fold-able,here in Sweden. Now I knew what to do. I photographed them. Put the picture on the box and suddenly my shoes was organised. This order makes it much easier to remove the once I no longer use.

I have made or printed some calendars this year for family and friends. The calendar I do not have to make myself I take it from the net but all the pictures I have to look for among all the pictures from last year. It is great fun because I remember last year, the Cherry blossoms in Kungsträdgården and my children’s balloon trip. The calendar has four columns one for each family member.

I have been on an inspiration day painting on concrete. I did get an already made concrete shape. I did choose a sunflower. I started to paint with the support of two ladies very competent and inspiring at Villa Elvira it was such fun and enjoyed every minute of it and I brought home this lovely sunflower plate in concrete.
